EARTH

Earth represents a solid state of matter and has a firm, permanent nature. Earth is considered a stable substance.

We human beings live on Earth. We call our planet by the same name and Earth is the element from which we rise on our feet every day. In addition, the food that we eat to nourish and feed our body also originates from Earth.

In Ayurveda, the body parts such as bones, teeth, and tissues are considered earth elements. Earth has qualities of heaviness and groundedness essential for maintaining strength of mind and body.
